Kent mums-to-be?

Hi, I'm a doula and I firmly believe that every woman should have support throughout pregnancy, labour, childbirth and beyond, REGARDLESS of their financial circumstances. I received some funding to help mums-to-be who need support but for some reason, can't access a private doula. I still have enough funding left to support a couple more. This means that the whole support package (normally £300 +) can be accessed entirely free.
More more info on doulas, check out www.doula.org.uk

If anyone is interested, or would like to find out more, just post up on here.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm in East Kent, but I cover as far as Darent Valley & all stops in between! The service includes up to 2 ante-natal visits, and then I would be with you from the time you wanted me when labour starts, until you are settled with your new baby. (Preferably after babe's fist feed). There would be at least one post-natal visit. I can support with feeding (breast or bottle) and help with any anxieties you may have before or after the birth.

Dependent on your circumstances and where you live it may well be completely free. If you're over 30 miles away from me, then there would be a snall payment towards travel costs. Hope that helps - let me know if you want more info!

Have had lots of enquiries, and getting booked up, so don't wait too long!
